Telling Ron
Chapter Three: Bliss
Author's Note: Thank you to everyone who has reviewed! You've made me so happy! I'll thank everyone indidvidually at the end of this chapter.
Hermione slowly crept downstairs from her dormitory, peeking in the common room to find it empty. She breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was at dinner. She had left her bag in the room after leaving Ron and Harry earlier, and didn't want anyone to talk to her about the argument that morning. She walked over to get her bag when Harry came in the portrait hole.
"Hey, I thought I'd bring you some food since you haven't eaten all day," he said handing her a plate of food. "And I'm sorry about this morning. I, uh, figured out what I walked in on."
Hermione shrugged. "It's alright. You didn't know. Oh, thank you for the food," she added sitting down on the couch.
"It would have been a good way to tell him though," Harry said chuckling.
"What?" she asked.
"Kissing him! I think he would have figured it out if you had."
"Mmm. I thought you never wanted to hear about Ron and kissing again?" she said teasingly.
"I don't. It was just a thought."
"Where is Ron anyway?"
"McGonagall made him start his detention tonight."
"Oh. How much detention does he have?" she asked swirling the potatoes around on her plate.
"A week plus fifteen points from Gryffindor. Malfoy got the same."
"Malfoy," Hermione said, her eyes narrowing, "Why must he always pick fights with us? He gets Ron so angry and then Ron has to go and punch him in the face! He needs to learn to control his temper and just walk away! Then he got himself hit and punched and...and..." Hermione was crying now with her hands over her face. "He can just be so stupid!"
Harry stared at Hermione, unsure of what to do. 'Why do girls always have to cry around me?' he wondered. He patted her on the back and said, "That's just the way Ron is. He can't let Malfoy get away with insulting people he cares about."
Hermione sobbed and put her unfinished plate on the table in front of her. She reached over to her bag and pulled out a tissue. Dabbing at her eyes she said, "I know he's very defensive but I wish he wouldn't get so physical. Can't he defend us with words?"
The portrait hole opened and people began filing in from dinner. Hermione excused herself to freshen up from crying. Harry started playing Chess with Seamus and Hermione came back down to finish eating and do her homework. By eleven thirty, Harry and Hermione were the only two left in the common room. They were silently waiting for Ron to come back from detention. Hermione wondered what she would say to Ron when he came in. 'Would he mention this morning? Probably not in front of Harry but later?'
Finally at midnight Ron came limping in. He looked furious. He made his way over to a chair across from them and flopped into it.
"McGonagall made me clean her entire classroom and her office! I had to scrub the floors, clean the board, wash the walls, the desks, the chairs, everything! Tomorrow I have to clean all the damn lavatories in the school!" he exclaimed angrily. "She wouldn't even let me see Madam Pomfrey about my leg! I haven't had dinner yet and I'm starving!"
"You stay here Ron. I'll go down to the kitchens and ask Dobby for some food. I haven't been down to see him a long time anyway," Harry offered, standing up.
"Thanks mate," Ron said appreciatively. Harry disappeared through the portrait hole. Ron and Hermione were left sitting in an uncomfortable silence. She nervously fiddled with a stray thread on her sweater, her eyes staring at her feet where she noticed she had on two different colored socks. She obviously didn't pay much attention this morning when she dressed. Ron cleared his throat but said nothing. His stomach growled loudly and Hermione giggled. Ron grinned at her. This finally broke the silence.
"I wish Harry would hurry up with the food."
"Ron, he's only been gone for a couple minutes! And you know how Dobby is. Harry could be gone for half an hour."
Ron nodded. Suddenly he looked nervous and cleared his throat again.
"Um about earlier...." he began. Hermione's eyes darted up to him. She couldn't believe he had brought it up. She was sure she would have to mention it.
"Right....Ron there's something I wanted to talk to you about...or, um tell you..." she trailed off, unsure of how to say it. "Ron you are....I....we..." She swallowed nervously as Ron stood and came to sit next to her on the couch.
"There's something I want to tell you too," he said in a low voice, apprehension in his eyes. Ron lightly put his hand on her cheek. Hermione tentatively put her hand on his arm, above his elbow. Ron bent lower to her as she lifted her face towards his. She felt his breath on her nose right before their lips touched. They were both in complete bliss. Ron's hands came down to her lower back as the kiss deepened. Hermione reached up and wrapped her arms around the back of his neck, pulling herself closer to him. It was the most incredible feeling in the world for Hermione and she never wanted it to end. Finally, they broke apart. Ron looked down at her, smiling like he never had before. Hermione looked into his eyes, a grin at her lips.
"Ron, I love you."
Ron's eyes widened. He couldn't believe she'd said it already. Hermione saw the look on his face and frowned.
"I'm sorry if I surprised you but I do," she said pulling away from him.
"No Hermione it's alright!" he exclaimed grabbing her hand. He didn't want to let go of her so quickly. "I..." he swallowed. "I...love you too."
Hermione's frown disappeared. "Oh Ron!" She through her arms around him and kissed him. Ron smiled into her mouth but quickly kissed her back. This is where Harry found them as he entered the room, holding a heaping plate of food. He almost dropped the plate when he saw what they were doing. They looked over at him, their arms still around each other.
"Oh hello....sorry to interupt....I'll just be going now....bye," Harry said quickly, placing the plate on the table and running up to his room. They looked at each other and laughed. Ron's stomach then let out another roar of hunger.
"I better eat this," Ron grinned, pulling apart from Hermione. She nodded, leaning back against the sofa to watch him eat. He offered her some but she declined. She thought she could watch him all night. He finished quickly as it only takes Ron a few minutes to devour a large plate of food. He leaned back next to her, groaning happily.
He looked down at her. "So...does this mean we're a..."
"Couple?" she finished for him. He nodded. "I hope so," she answered. "Do you want to be one?"
"Definately," he said leaning down to kiss her softly on her lips. "Hey, nice socks," he looked at her feet, confused.
"Yeah....thanks," she said. Laughing, he put his arm around her shoulders and she leaned against his chest, listening to his heart beat. Ron inhaled the wonderful smell of her hair. It was like spring flowers. Soon he could hear her breathing softly and evenly. He knew she was asleep. He smiled to himself and put his other arm around her. He slowly lowered the two of them into a laying position on the couch. He closed his eyes and gave a sigh of contentment. Soon his dreams were full of his Hermione.
A/N: Yay! They finally kissed! Don't worry there's more to come! By the way, I meant to put the socks thing in the last chapter but as different colored shoes and I forgot! So I put it in here!
Here's the thank you section:
Thekecmaster: Thank you for reviewing! Sorry the fighting was short but I don't know that much about punching and stuff so I couldn't keep it going very long!
RonAndHermy: I'm so glad you like it! I don't know exactly how long it will be but I definately have room to make it long!
QueenoftheSwans: I read your story and I reviewed! Thank you for reading mine!
pheonixflames121: I'm really happy you like it! And I updated really fast! Of course it is the weekend and I don't have much else to do!
littlebluebanana: Thank you for reviewing! I tried to apply what you said to this chapter. Sorry if you don't notice a difference. I tried!
Lily106: I wrote more and I'm still going to write more! I'm glad you like it!
Dude Where's My Cheese: Nice name! Sorry Ron didn't really have a reaction since he kissed Hermione at the same time, she didn't have to tell him. I guess the title doesn't really fit now....Oh well! Glad you liked it (well you liked the first chapter, don't know if you liked the second and third.)
